Chapter 34: A moment of confusion

On the way there, Yang Wei was restrained by Xiao Han, who was flushed with excitement, and Xiao Ran took the time to think about his own business. Yang Wei's performance seemed to be quite affectionate towards him, which Xiao Ran naturally would not fail to see. Of course, it's not that he doesn't disagree with Yang Wei's delicate beauty, it's just that he knows his own business, and he doesn't have any feelings for Yang Wei. If you really feel anything, maybe it's the moment you meet for the first time......

This gave him a headache, it's not a bad thing for someone to like him, at least Xiao Ran enjoys this feeling. However, there is another shadow in his heart, a shocking shadow. Of course, Xiao Ran is not a child, and of course he will not be absurdly infatuated with a woman who has only met once. However, he still thought, maybe it might be better to hope that Yang Wei didn't like him.

Lin Qingxia's new home is huge! This was Xiao Ran's first thought, there was a swimming pool and a garden, which made him envious. However, with his current net worth, let alone buying a house in Saigon, I am afraid that it may not be enough to buy a house in other places.

As soon as he entered Lin Qingxia's house, Xiao Ran saw a number of acquaintances, and the so-called acquaintances probably referred to those who had seen and known. Several giants of the new art city, such as Xu Ke and Mecca, as well as Huang Baiming, are here, and Zhang Manyu is chatting happily with others.

Xiao Ran said hello to these people and went straight in. Inside, I only saw Lin Qingxia talking happily with the same person, and when she saw Xiao Ran and them coming in, she immediately showed joy. She confessed and came to Xiao Ran and the three of them, looked Yang Wei up and down, and then said to Xiao Ran in an ambiguous tone: "Ah Ran, your girlfriend is very beautiful!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything. Of course, Lin Qingxia didn't know the origin of Xiao Ran's smile, she just stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Han and whispered a few words. Then let Yang Wei and the two of them find a place to be free, and then pulled Xiao Ran to meet a friend.

"There are people with very high status here today, Ah Ran, you have to seize the opportunity!" Lin Qingxia stared at Xiao Ran with a strange expression, as if she knew Xiao Ran's idea of wanting to be a director: "Maybe it will be very helpful to you in the future!" ”

Before the words fell, Lin Qingxia and Xiao Ran came to a rather rich middle-aged man. After some introduction, Xiao Ran realized that the middle-aged man named Lin Guiyun in front of him was one of the most powerful film companies in Taiwan, and he bought a lot of Hong Kong films every year.

As for this film, Xiao Ran is very clear. Before a new film is released, or even before it is filmed, someone pays to buy the copyright of this film somewhere, and this is the film spending. It must be said that the influence of this kind of film dealer is extremely great, and selling film flowers is also an extremely popular means in Hong Kong in this era.

In general, studios do not interfere with films. However, that's just under normal circumstances, many times film companies have to designate actors for a certain film, and the more popular the actors, the easier it is to eat. In fact, Xiao Ran knows very well that it is precisely because of such a filmmaker's requirements that countless bad movies have been created. Because sometimes even the film company takes the lead in the filming of the film, and shoots the movie without a script and without all preparations, so that it will be hellish if there is no bad movie.

The film trailer system is a testimony to the heyday of Hong Kong films, to what extent it has flourished: before a film starts shooting, or even before a silhouette, as long as the film company tells the film company that the new film has a certain starring role, then the film company can immediately make a decision and pay the money to buy it first.

In fact, to put it bluntly, most of the Hong Kong film companies in this era used the money of local studios to make movies, which was like the air force fighting the army. In this cycle, film companies are profitable, and film companies make a lot of money, and the result is that a large number of bad films are produced, which leads to the decline of Hong Kong films.

However, from Xiao Ran's point of view, it is not that the film cannot be sold, but that it cannot be sold like this, and investors cannot be allowed to influence the film's work. Only good quality can make the film sell better. Therefore, this film system does not need to be abolished, but it must be changed.

Lin Guiyun was easy-going, which made Xiao Ran feel good. After chatting for a few words, Lin Qingxia led Xiao Ran to another middle-aged man, this person is the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Weekly", who is also a very powerful person, and he cannot be convicted.

After walking around Lin Qingxia like this, and then meeting famous talented women such as Yishu and Lin Yanni and some other talents, Lin Qingxia went to greet others. Xiao Ran didn't like this environment very much, but when he saw Lin Qingxia leaving, he found a place to sit down and drink something to himself, and took a rest by the way.

Obviously, others may not be willing to approach him as a young screenwriter. But that Lin Guiyun came over and sat down very curiously and said, "Mr. Xiao, why are you sitting here alone?" ”

"Mr. Lin, just call me Ah Ran!" Xiao Ran actually doesn't like any gentlemen coming and going, it feels very hypocritical: "I always feel very tired sometimes, so I just take a break here." ”

"Hehe, you're not used to parties like this. It doesn't matter, if you come more in the future, you will naturally get used to it! Lin Guiyun really didn't have the kind of big businessman's shelf, but chatted with Xiao Ran kindly: "In this way, I call you Ah Ran, you can call me Brother Gui, and many people will be surprised!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and glanced around, there were men and women holding wine glasses and talking freely. At this moment, a man and a woman walked in outside the door, the man was handsome and chic, and the woman was peerless! At this glance, Xiao Ran was stunned, wasn't this woman the woman who glanced at the door of the hotel that time?

Seeing Xiao Ran's eyes and appearance, Lin Guiyun followed his eyes and immediately showed a smile of understanding. He coughed lightly twice, and then he held back a smile and said, "Ah Ran, what do you think of this woman?" ”

"She?" Although Xiao Ran is thick-skinned, he can't help but feel embarrassed when he is so out of shape in front of outsiders: "Very good, very beautiful!" ”

Seeing Xiao Ran's embarrassment, Lin Guiyun had a wonderful affection for the young man in front of him. In his eyes, anyone who can understand embarrassment is obviously not a bad guy, at least it is worth befriending. He smiled and nodded, "However, she is a figure that you and I can't afford to provoke." This pair of men and women are brothers and sisters, the man is Fang Ruohai, the woman is Fang Ruoxin, their father is a rich Chinese-American man, and it is not something that we can make friends with this identity! ”

Xiao Ran is not a fool, he naturally understands that Lin Guiyun is doing it for his good, and vaguely dissuades him not to fall into this quagmire, because the identity of the other party is not something he can climb. However, knowing is knowing, sometimes feelings are really uncontrollable. At least now Xiao Ran only felt that his whole body was trapped, and since he saw this Fang Ruoxin, he became shy and easily excited like his first love. That's what it feels like......

"Ahem! Ah Ran, what good book have you, the 20 million screenwriter, written recently? Lin Guiyun couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw Xiao Ran's eyes looking at Fang Ruoxin. In his opinion, young people are young people after all, and it is easy to fall into them.

Xiao Ran looked back at Lin Guiyun in amazement, he didn't expect that the nickname of 20 million screenwriters would even be known to the Taiwanese industry. He doesn't know this, the relationship between the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industries in this era is not bad, and this Lin Guiyun is still a film company, if he doesn't even know about him, a new famous screenwriter, it will not be confused.

The entertainment industry is the place that pays the most attention to strength, and it is also the place that pays the most attention to qualifications. For example, screenwriters, if they can write blockbuster scripts like Xiao Ran, or award-winning scripts, they are naturally extremely popular. However, qualifications are what really dominate everything, take Liu Songren of wireless as an example, even if this person is not as red as Zhou Yan, he is definitely wireless and does not even speak a word from the top executive.

Qualifications are qualifications, and seniority means strong connections. Wang Jing has directed and produced countless films that ridicule all kinds of big stars and directors, and film big brothers like Cheng Long and film directors like Wang Jiawei have all been spoofed.

changed someone else to shoot like this, but I am afraid that there will be no name of this person in the film industry in the future. But Wang Jing has a strong connection, his father is an outstanding director of the older generation, and naturally no one dares to take him when he is spoofed, this is an important surname of connections.

And what Xiao Ran has now is strength, but he is a lot worse in terms of qualifications, so his reputation is naturally not bad. Therefore, Lin Guiyun knew Xiao Ran, it was no surprise. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't think of it so much, he just reluctantly retracted his gaze and said: "There are a few books, but this time I plan to be the director myself!" ”

Lin Guiyun was stunned, he was very optimistic about the young screenwriter in front of him, although he didn't know whether this confidence was intuition or something else, but he just felt this way. It's like when people interact with each other, sometimes you don't need to say a word to confer trust on a stranger.

Therefore, Lin Guiyun inquired about it, just to learn about Xiao Ran's creation, and then he could give himself buffer time to plan and buy new films. But Xiao Ran actually said that he planned to be his own director, which made Lin Guiyun embarrassed.

Editors and excellent directors are absolutely not seen in this era, of course, those that come out of the wireless are naturally not counted, those are choreographers. The so-called choreographer is nothing more than being able to choreograph and direct. Xiao Ran didn't have any training as a choreographer and director, and he actually wanted to be a director himself, which really made Lin Guiyun unbelievable.

You can wait until the film is shot before deciding whether to buy it or not! Someone must have thought so! It's a pity that Hong Kong films are now in a tight fashion in Southeast Asia, and as long as you hesitate a little, you're afraid that this film will be taken away by other film companies. This is the reason why film companies rushed to grab films in the early 90s, although it is not so serious at present, but for the films written by Xiao Ran, I am afraid it is still relatively popular.

Just when Lin Guiyun was embarrassed, Xiao Ran stood up very politely and said a word of absence, and walked towards Fang Ruoxin. Coming to that dazzling face, Xiao Ran couldn't even maintain his smile, and forced a forced smile on his stiff face: "Miss Fang, hello, can you sit down here?" ”

Fang Ruoxin smiled politely and nodded, Xiao Ran's palms were sweating profusely, secretly hating himself for being like a junior brother, but on the surface, he tried his best to make his smile softer: "Miss Fang, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really an honor!" My name is Xiao Ran, and I am a screenwriter. ”

As soon as these words popped out, Xiao Ran had the idea of slapping himself, or starting work left and right. That Fang Ruoxin didn't realize anything, and even said with a smile in everyone's demeanor: "It's a pleasure to meet you, 20 million screenwriters!" ”

Xiao Ran sweats! Just when he was deeply surprised, a hearty female voice sounded beside him: "Who doesn't know the name of Xiao Da's screenwriter now, Ah Ran, I'm afraid you don't know that "Dream Man" was invested by Ruoxin!" ”

In order not to be rude, Xiao Ran turned slightly sideways and looked over, it turned out that it was Yishu who spoke, but she didn't know when she sat down. Yishu obviously saw what Xiao Ran meant, and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle: "Ah Ran, I'm afraid that Ruoxin is the only one in your eyes, but I've been sitting here!" ”

Even though he was extremely thick-skinned, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed......
